Real quick thoughts: Really could see any team winning the AL East...the White Sox are perpetually the hardest team to figure out, but I like their pitching...I'm not as high on the Angels as most, probably, and higher on the A's than most. Again, the gap is closed by the A's pitching...I don't think the gap between Washington and Atlanta has increased that much...I'm not sold on the changes in Cincy. If Choo can't play center they may be in big trouble, and I'd be very surprised if they have the same starting pitching health that they had last year...Pittsburgh finally gets their above-.500 season...the NL West seems almost as open as the AL East to me, although I can't picture a scenario where the Rockies win the division...Padres are clearly my surprise team. If they get any pitching, watch out.
